That is a pipe below the water line that goes out into the yard

I just looked. In addition to the 1-inch diameter emergency overflow
plastic pipe that is in the side of the pool about an inch or two above the
water line, there IS a three-inch wide plastic pipe sticking up out of the
grass ten or fifteen feet to the side of the pool.

This pipe drains out to the street but I don't see any water in it unless I
water the grass too much.

It's intriguing what you intimate (that this pipe can be used as the well)
but that still begs the question of how to get the water INTO the pool once
the float valve senses the low pool level.

You can't have a hose (safely anyway) snaking across the pool deck; so how
do you get water INTO the pool? Any ideas?
